Arun Maira is very right in his analysis of our country's problems and is also correct in prescribing solutions with examples of countries of our region. Every body knows, we have no dearth of either natural resources or human resources necessary to drive the change process required to develop well as a nation having reasonably good standard of life for all its citizens. Yes, the problem is basically with our political leadership and as a corollary with our administration and policing.Can any body disagree that we have serious dearth of political leaders with strong sense of commitment, sincerity, simplicity, integrity and vision who can dedicate themselves towards finding solutions of many basic problems being faced by majority of Indian population not for months or years but for decades even after achieving political independence 65 years ago.The growing inequality in Indian society is a major cause of concern which must be addressed forthwith. If political class can resolve to have identified common goals, sincerity of purpose, transparency and objectivity in approach, openness in participation of stake holders and deadlines for implementation of decisions taken, nothing is impossible to achieve in a defined time span. If countries like Malaysia and Indonesia can develop well, let alone the question of China and Japan, India can and must make things happen in a faster pace in coming years. Hope, the Indian politics would change for a better tomorrow.

Against the rate of growth of 3.3% in agriculture and allied sectors during the 11th Plan period (2007-12), our country can and must record a growth of 4% plus during 12th five year plan period between 2012 to 2017 provided the farmers are offered all kinds of support starting from good quality seed, fertiliser, adequate water and electricity besides farm loans at lower rate of interest expeditiously. The farmers of the country must also receive suitable support price of the agriculture produce without much botheration. Only talking on the subject and shedding crocodile tears on the plight of farmers by the political masters of the country will not help.
